Always getting cache miss during TurboRepo <> CircleCI integration

What operating system are you using?

Describe the Bug

After following the detailed guide of CircleCi + TurboRepo integration, I am getting cache miss all the time, even though I am pretty sure I have configured CircleCI secrets accordingly. Here's my repo+ CircleCi logs.

Expected Behavior

Should receive cache hit for identical job execution.

To Reproduce

• Rerun job in circleCI
• observe cache miss for identical job, instead of cache hit

This appears to be an issue with how CircleCI environment variables work.

Because we're setting the environment variables on the project, you actually don't need to specify them in the workflow. Adding these in the workflow is overriding the variables set on the project because they have a higher precedence, so the environment variables literally end up being the strings $TURBO_TEAM and $TURBO_TOKEN, and your remote cache requests are failing to authenticate.

To fix this, just remove these lines, but make sure the correct variables are set in your project settings as described here.

Apologies for the error on the docs here - we will get this updated!

Looks like you're getting cache hits now @mkotsollaris 🚀
